Annual Financial Report
ANDREA ESTEY
Dear Friend of Shelburne Farms,
2022 marked the 50th anniversary of the education nonprofit at Shelburne Farms that started in 1972 with the idea that through education we could help build a better world. Since then, thanks to our amazing community of supporters and the gift of the property to the nonprofit in 1984, we’ve grown an international network of educators and transformed the former private estate into a beautiful and powerful place of learning for a sustainable future. Here are a few highlights you helped make possible over the last year:
The Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools is now the hub for all our professional learning programs for educators preK-12. In partnership with UVM, we are offering an innovative graduate certificate program in Education for Sustainability.
Our food system education and climate action work is more important than ever. We are supporting farm to school and farm-based education programs here and across the country. We continue to build soil carbon through grass-based livestock farming and invest in renewably-powered technologies as we work to be net zero in our on-site operations by 2028.
Our trails and farm are open by donation. The past several years crystallized the value of everyone having access to farms and beautiful places for respite and renewal. So we have continued to keep our trails, children’s farmyard, and gardens at the Inn open by donation.
We are welcoming guests to stay and learn. Our Inn and cottages are open for guests to experience all that Shelburne Farms has to offer and to connect to place through the cheddar we craft daily and all that we produce from our fields, gardens, and woodlands.
As always, Shelburne Farms runs on the love and support of many friends. Thanks again for being part of our community. Here’s to the next 50 years.
With much gratitude,

The Legacy
The Shelburne Farms Institute for Sustainable Schools spearheaded our exceptional programs for educators. In 2022, we welcomed the first students into our new Education for Sustainability graduate-level certificate programs, offered together with the University of Vermont. We also facilitated programs including the Climate Resiliency Fellowship, where educators like Don Taylor (above left) collaborate and draw inspiration for teaching climate action. At Main Street Middle School in Montpelier, Don’s students learned about connections between climate change and food insecurity and collected climate data about maple sugaring.

At our Cultivating Joy and Wonder workshop, early childhood educators joined us for a week of hands-on learning to infuse their curricula with fresh ideas. We utilized the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to help teachers and students, both on and off campus, understand how local actions can have a global impact. In total, these programs are exactly what Education for Sustainability is all about: helping learners build healthier communities and a healthier planet, now and in the future.

Our campus came fully alive for learners of all ages to connect to food systems, farming, and the natural world. The ABCs of Farm-Based Education workshop returned in person for the first time since 2019, and more than 20 educators—from Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Canada—learned from us and each other on this farm. "I am in love with this landscape," said a participant. "I feel motivated to foster the relationship between people and land through food, fiber, and environment." We also welcomed an international group of agritourism and agricultural education professionals (above left).
Loyal Friends
Shelburne Farms is grateful to the many loyal friends who support our mission year after year. We are honored to celebrate current donors who have consistently contributed gifts of any amount for twenty years or more.

In school field trips, summer camps, adult programs, and more, students of all ages enjoyed learning about, exploring, and caring for the natural and farm communities on their doorsteps. Beyond our campus, student-led service projects unfolded at Vermont’s Georgia Elementary and Middle School (upper left) and in Winooski, JFK Elementary School students learned about life in and around water.

We grew and crafted delicious farm products for our community and beyond. Our products are a unique touchstone to this working farm campus and a reminder that our food choices can help create stronger, more sustainable local food systems. In 2022, our pasture-raised Brown Swiss cows produced nearly two million pounds of milk, the primary ingredient in the nearly 162,000 pounds of cheddar cheese we crafted.

In 2022, we managed 400 acres of woodlands, generating live-edge lumber boards and nearly 1,300 gallons of maple syrup from 2,400 taps—a banner season. All of our products were showcased at the Farm Store & Welcome Center, both fresh off the farm and in prepared foods made by our kitchen staff. The Inn dining room also featured our products, as well as those from other Vermont producers. (photos, p.12-13: Andrea Estey, Sarah Webb)

We cared for and shared this unparalleled place as a landscape for learning. With visitor and donor support, we welcomed everyone to enjoy our walking trails by donation for a third year. This included many more people discovering and enjoying the Flower Gardens at the Inn, either along the trails, in formal programs, or as guests at the Inn, which reopened in 2022. We also began installing new trail signs to help visitors better navigate our expansive 1,400 acres.

Exterior shingling of the Breeding Barn continued through 2022 (it will wrap up in 2023). Long-time supporters were invited to inscribe messages on shingles used in the project, creating an informal time capsule within the building walls. We honored Frederick Law Olmsted's 200th anniversary by planting trees along historic allees, guided by our Historic Landscape Management Plan. And as we experiment with climate solutions, we began developing our Climate Action Plan to guide our progress towards net zero status by 2028.

Shelburne Farms is a 501(c)(3) education nonprofit on a mission to inspire and cultivate learning for a sustainable future. We believe that transformative learning experiences sow the seeds for a more just and thriving world. Our work seeks to create the space, spark the conversations, and share the stories to inspire educators and students to build a better future for everyone.
Kathy and David Leo-Nyquist walk at the farm several times a week, yearround, in all kinds of weather. But as parents and professionals, their roots here run even deeper: "In our work as educators, we brought student teachers on field trips and to other educational offerings at Shelburne Farms. Those experiences were transformational for them, and in turn had a positive impact on their students who are the future stewards of our state and beyond. Shelburne Farms is an amazing place and we believe deeply in the education mission and dedication to sustainability. We are proud supporters."
